An unclear message

Sun., Dec. 9, 2018

I am not sure how to interpret Clay Bennett’s editorial cartoon from Nov. 28. Is this intended to be a humble reminder that we all come from migrants and we should be thankful for our forefathers braving crossing the Atlantic on the Mayflower?

Or is this cartoon a foreboding warning that migration unchecked can lead to migrants destroying an entire culture and leaving the natives of that land wondering what exactly happened to their way of life?
